Chinese Club Earthquake Relief Fundraiser

by Mr. Quale on May 20, 2008

The Mira Loma Chinese Club is currently organizing an Earthquake Relief Fundraiser. Please see below:

On May 12, 2008, a 7.9 magnitude earthquake struck the province of SiChuan in China. The death toll is estimated to reach 50,000. There are also over 200,000 people injured and billions of dollars in property damages. At present, emergency goods such as food, medical supplies, and temporary shelters are desperately needed. Please help the earthquake victims by making a donation. There is a collection jar in Mr. Quale’s classroom.
